Over 15,000 Have Signed This Christian Group's Petition Against Sarah Palin

'Palin doesn't speak for Christians'

Faithful America, one of the biggest online communities of Christians, are taking a stand against Sarah Palin's equation of torture and baptism at the NRA convention this weekend. There's asking fellow-Christians to sign a petition stating that "Sarah Palin does not speak for Christians." Here's why they feel so strongly:

In a speech Saturday to the National Rifle Association, Sarah Palin said that "if I were in charge, they would know that waterboarding is how we baptize terrorists." The audience roared with approval.

This is what we've come to in America: A former candidate for vice-president can equate torture and Holy Baptism, and one of the nation's most powerful political lobbies erupts into cheers and applause.

As usual, Palin's remarks are already making international headlines, once again portraying Christianity as a religion of hatred and violence. But this time, let's show just how many Christians are appalled by Palin's twisted misrepresentation of our faith.

But they have to beat Palin herself, who received over 84,000 "likes" for a Facebook post in which she doubles down on her waterboarding remarks:

Darn right I'd do whatever it takes to foil their murderous jihadist plots.

...If some overly sensitive wusses took offense, remember the First Amendment doesn't give you a right not to be offended. Perhaps hypocritical folks who only want Freedom of Speech to apply to those who agree with their liberal agenda might want to consider that the evil terrorists who were the brunt of my one-liner would be the first to strip away ALL our rights if given the chance.

^ Doesn't cover terrorists. They are not even protected by any convention. We can do all sorts of nasty things to do them they fully deserve and there is nothing they, or the libs, can do about it as long as it doesn't take place on U.S soil.

I'm pretty sure that Palin's joke, although in poor taste, is not this important. We have a DOJ being run by the biggest criminal and a nation being ignored by the biggest liar. Little ol' Sarah is not a big deal.

@TigerLandSC FREEDOM OF SPEACH, FREEDOM OF SPEACH. Every one yells about Freedom Of Speach. Im more worred about freedom of not having to listen to crap that the speakers know is wrong, but still try to sell it. Im more worried about the next far out nut (no matter which so-called political party he/she supports (or claims to) who walks or drives by and shoots or bombs someone in his own name, or some weird political groups.

So to avoid the "jihadists" taking over we should become like them? I don't know how I'd feel it waters got America reliable intelligence, that we couldn't get elsewhere. The truth though is that waterboarding is a pointless exercise in sadism that doesn't garner reliable information.

She has been right on just about everything she has said. If she was “bat shit crazy,” the liberals would have left her alone LONG ago. The left is quite predictable in attacking the people they fear. If someone on the left says anything nice about a politician on the right… 9 times out of 10 that politician should register as a Democrat.

@TigerLandSC She doesn't shut her stupid mouth. That is why we don't leave her alone. Remember people left Hitler alone because he was a big mouth. Idi Amin, anyone. Stalin? Mussolini? People seem to think Palin is intelligent. My brother lived in Alaska and said she was a joke. Too many people knew it but didn't bother to vote for the other guy. She got the oil companies to give money to every Alaskan. In other words she BOUGHT their votes. Please try to tell us what she has been right about.

@TigerLandSC "I think on a national level your Department of Law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we've been charged with and automatically throw them out." --Sarah Palin, referring to a department that does not exist while attempting to explain why as president she wouldn't be subjected to the same ethics investigations that compelled her to resign as governor of Alaska, ABC News interview, July 7, 2009

Sometime I wonder if the butt hurts really hurt the butt?Palin is ignorant at time, maybe more often. If you want to argue with the ignorant, you yourself become ignorant. Tell her she's a twit. Use twitter to do it......

"Who calls a shot like that? Who makes a decision like that? It's a disturbing trend." –Sarah Palin, pushing a conspiracy theory that "In God We Trust" had been moved to the edge of coins by the Obama administration (the change was made by the Bush administration in 2007 and was later reversed by Congress, before Obama took office), West Allis, Wisconsin, Nov. 6, 2009

I see Sarah is continuing her quest to defame every position she's ever held or taken with this latest 'fear us because our religion is more crazy-azz than yours'.She should maybe take a page out of the apostle Paul's play-book and convert to Islam in order to destroy it.

If memory serves me, she was every God-fearing American's little darling just a few years ago. That's the interesting thing about Conservatives, they will turn on each other and eat their own in a heartbeat. That tells me their convictions are wishy-washy.

You have got it all wrong. Leftists want her to keep on talking .....everytime she opens her mouth she makes Republicans look moronic by association and poll after poll has shown that she brings down Republican approval numbers.

@O_S_Thomas People who support terrorists that fight against Christians by protecting them from punishment and by making sure that the West fights blind because it's not allowed to extract information from the enemy to support our troops are no Christians - because they support the massacre of Christians.

I have news for you, Thomas. We're at war. The West has been at war since September 11, 2001 and if you believe what the Quran says we've been at war since the days of Mohammed. So either we stop them - or we will fall. It's as simple as that. We can't afford to play Mr. Nice Guy. It's not that kind of war, not that kind of enemy. Compared to this the Nazi's were peaceniks. I hate it as much you do but there it is. We didn't want this war - but we got it nonetheless. And now we should let the hammer down and finish it.

@Dutchman1982 By that reasoning, Jesus was a terrorist since he told us to turn the other cheek when an enemy struck the first one. I don't know what religious you're practicing but it sounds a lot more like Odin worship than Christianity.

@Cincinnatus Use the word when it actually has value. Like when someone believes in a leader principle or a master race (I believe in neither of that shit). Words are like currency - don't devalue them.

@Cincinnatus Wrong again. Look up the definition of fascism. Do I believe in the unity of state and corporate power ?(Musso's own definition). Definitely not. Do I believe in an all-powerful state under an all-powerful leader ? Nope. Quite the contrary, actually. Yet again: stop being a fool.

They'll listen again. By this time tomorrow she'll apologize for having liberals take her well meaning quote out of context and smearing her with it because somehow it was all their fault she said the things she does. Palin has no accountability in anything she does. She never has. She never will. She has supporters who go to great lengths to keep it this way.

@SavageNation Don't confuse me with someone who cares if I get thumbs up or not. That there are those who defend her on here by anonymously giving me a thumbs down doesn't really stoke my ego one way or another. Thanks for caring though. At least one of us did.

"But obviously, we've got to stand with our North Korean allies." --Sarah Palin, after being asked how she would handle the current hostilities between the two Koreas, interview on Glenn Beck's radio show, Nov. 24, 2010

Wow, 15,000. That's not gonna do anything you know. Look at the White House petitions, there are much larger ones and those literally do absolutely nothing. Sarah Palin is a horrible politicians, she only does things for shock value now a days. This just gives her more attention. Stop making stupid people famous! This isn't Jersey Shore.
